Darien Moore and Don Ching Award
About this award
Get financial support for your post-secondary education if you are an Indigenous student from Saskatchewan — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Darien Moore and Don Ching Award to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student from Saskatchewan who needs extra money to help cover the costs of going to school. You have three different deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Darien Moore and Don Ching Award how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Darien Moore and Don Ching Award during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Darien Moore and Don Ching Award whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
